My co-workers and I are a tight-knit group, full of out there, in-your-face personalities (school bus drivers). At our Christmas party, my boyfriend was a great sport about being teased by a few and really impressed all the "mothers" of the bunch, and even though he wasn't into dancing that night, he suprised me by grabbing me for a couple slow dances, complete with a little dance floor kissing, then spent time helping to clean up and move tables afterward... he really is a sweetheart. *sigh*

he stopped at a fancy grocery store on his way home from work today and got me not one, but two pints of the best chocolate sorbet EVER. Just because.

when I sliced open my finger and bled everywhere whilst cutting onions last week, instead of griping at me like my ex would for not being careful enough, he calmly made me a small, functional bandage. We just moved so the bandaids were MIA.

when he rubs my back and then lays for almost an hour with me curled on top of him, passed out after a long day. He's like a warm, bony, breathing body pillow~

when he continues to spoon me throughout the night, even while I've got a hacking cough every 5 minutes.

when he makes a genuine effort to show that he cares. He's not afraid to face difficult situations between us and wants to help them.

When you're curled up in a ball on the couch crying and he moves a pillow so he can sit next to you and hold you. And as he holds you, he reminds you softly that the sky isn't falling & that we can tackle this problem together. Then he goes out & buys your favorite tacos for dinner. Then he stays with you an holds you while you watch nature shows together even though he would probably rather play video games.

when i've heard about all the pretty girls he's dated before me, but ended it because they pressured him for sex he wasn't ready for (with them, specifically). But we shagged on the first date : ) He said it just never felt right with them, but it was completely right with me. Not that he was a virgin before me, but he turned down a lot. What?! I have no reason to doubt him.

when he opens up to me, bares his soul..about..everything. It's a good thing. He's not scared of his feelings.

when I often ask "what would D do?" in moral situations. He makes me a better person.
